A Micromechanical Model of Lung Tissue Rheology
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 1998The rheological properties of lung tissue are complex and nonlinear and contribute significantly to both the elastic and dissipative mechanical properties of the lung. Nevertheless, there remain large gaps in our understanding of precisely how the bulk rheological behavior of lung tissue is linked to the properties of its constituents and their ...

Cochlear micromechanics—A physical model of transduction
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1980One of the basic questions which has persisted in the field of hearing theory is the still unresolved mechanical action of hair-cell transduction. The fundamental problem that has historically plagued researches is the discrepancy between mechanically measured tuning of basilar membrane motion and neurally measured tuning.

Modelling cochlear micromechanics [PDF]
, 2007 An active mechanism, the cochlear amplifier, enhances the response of the cochlea to low-level stimuli and is assumed to be controlled by the action of the outer hair cells (OHCs) located within the organ of Corti. Classical models of the cochlea use an array of isolated lumped parameter systems along its length, coupled through the cochlear fluid ...

Tunnel Excavation Modeling with Micromechanical Approaches
2011A zone with significant irreversible deformations and significant changes in flow and transport properties is expected to be formed around underground excavation in the deep geological layers considered for the high level radioactive waste disposal. The present study concerns the modeling of this phenomena by a micromechanical damage model, based on a ...

Micromechanics modeling of smart composites
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 1999This paper discusses a summary of analytical modeling as applied to selected smart composites which include piezoelectric composites, shape memory alloy (SMA) fiber composites, and piezoresistive composites. First we discuss the definition of ‘smart materials’ which exhibit coupling among mechanical, thermal and electromagnetic behavior, then the ...

Evolution of Microstructures and A Micromechanical Model
1995The mechanical properties of geomaterials strongly depend on the microstructures and its micro-evolution mode. From the view of micromechanics, a lot of micro-slips and rotations of particles for particulate materials are the fundamental of their macro-deformation.

Micromechanical modelling of polymeric composites
Polymer, 1994Abstract The community of scientists and engineers associated with composite materials has reached a level of understanding of composite material systems such that we can now consider how composite material systems should be made, not just how they can be made.

Micromechanics model for particulate composites
Mechanics of Materials, 2007The elastic and elastoplastic response of particulate composite materials is described in terms of a micromechanics model, based on previous works. This model initially proposed to determine the elastic stiffness of various types of composites, is now combined with the self-consistent model for plastic deformation.
